Why Work With Me?

Choosing an outsourced support provider is a big decision. I understand the importance of trust, clarity, and working with someone who understands the realities of running a small business.

I give advice in plain English, focused on what matters most and what will actually work for your business. I don’t hide behind technical language or default to “the law says” without context. My aim is to help you understand what’s required and take action with confidence.

With over 20 years’ experience, I understand how HR, health and safety, and day-to-day operations fit together in real businesses. I offer flexible freelance support that fits your business, without the cost or commitment of hiring an employee.

I work to the professional standards you’d expect, with the relevant registrations and insurance in place, so you can feel confident in the support you’re receiving.

Above all, I focus on building trusted relationships and making a genuine, practical difference, offering support that’s focused on what really matters.

Pricing

I believe in keeping things straightforward and cost-effective. I offer flexible, ad hoc support at a fixed hourly rate, or ongoing retained support through a simple monthly package.

Managing people can sometimes be complex, but getting the right HR support shouldn’t be. My retained packages give you practical advice, reassurance and support when you need it, helping you stay compliant and deal with people issues confidently.

If you only need occasional support, my pay-as-you-go option may be the right fit.

What My Clients Say

In January of this year, we recognised we needed some additional HR support as our team continued to grow. I reached out to Danni to discuss our requirements, and she quickly tailored a package that suited our specific needs. Danni has consistently been supportive, professional, and responsive. Nothing we've asked has ever been too much trouble.

We've had to navigate a few challenging situations, and having Danni just a phone call away has given us the confidence to handle them effectively while ensuring all our HR practices remain compliant and up to date. Danni has even suggested more efficient ways to organise our documents, and as a result, we’re now working with a much more streamlined and user-friendly system.

I recently needed some support with my business contracts as I was facing several problems when working with my clients. As a small business owner, it was great to be able to work with Danni as she was able to accurately point out where I could improve my contracts. I am really happy with the result and I now feel much more confident in engaging with my clients with compliant and safe contracts for both parties. I would highly recommend Danni and her services.

As the owner of Rainbows Coffee Shop, I am pleased to share my experience working with Ask Danni for our HR support needs.

From the very start of our journey as a new business, Danni has been instrumental in helping us navigate the complexities of employing and managing our growing team.

Danni’s expertise has touched every aspect of our HR function. She has provided us with clear, comprehensive contracts, up-to-date policies, and a full suite of employment documents tailored specifically for our business.

As a start-up, employee onboarding was initially a daunting prospect, but Danni made us feel at ease. Danni’s assistance doesn’t stop there. She manages our staff onboarding, personnel records, staff holiday and leave records efficiently, identifies training needs, and organises training.

Whenever I need help, whether it’s a quick question or a more complex issue, Danni is always responsive, and clear in her recommendations.

I would not hesitate to recommend Ask Danni to any company seeking trustworthy, knowledgeable, and proactive HR support

Rainbows Abington (Coffee Shop)

Danni has consistently demonstrated a willingness to go above and beyond. Whenever I have needed advice regarding our staff, Danni has been only a phone call away with practical advice and solutions.

Most recently, Danni drafted a comprehensive drugs and alcohol policy tailored to our needs. Not only did Danni provide expert guidance in shaping the policy itself, but she also supported us through the rollout and communication to our staff.

Whether it's responding promptly to requests, offering professional advice, or providing hands-on assistance with policy development and implementation, Danni’s support has been invaluable. I would highly recommend Danni to any business seeking support with HR and other business functions.
